Totally insane - "Shock and Awe" as foreign policy

Ullman and the rest should be shocked and awed into a secured medical facility before they deliver the Second Dark Age

So here we are, preparing to destroy a huge modern city, kill tens of thousands, and threaten nuclear attack --
all against people who have not fired a single bullet at us. Yes, it’s about oil. But it’s also about shock and
awe, putting on a terrifying show for the whole world to see.

If all this leaves you in shock and awe, you have had your vision raised several levels too. You see what
Ullman, Powell, and all the Bushies see: the U.S. frightening the whole world so badly that no one will dare fire
a single bullet at us. Let them be as angry as they like, just so they know who is the meanest, toughest son of
a bitch on the global block.

That is now becoming the essence of U.S. foreign policy. And they seriously believe it will put an end to war. I
suppose the Romans believed it too.
